The Process
Progressive metal stamping is a complex process. With the progressive process, steel advances through different stations of the die. Depending on the complexity of the part, the number of stations is determined and could include punching, blanking, bending, coining, embossing, flanging, etc. The final result is a completed part utilizing just one die.
Common Progressive Metal Stamping Stations
Punching
Clean precise holes created with a punch press.
Bending
Accurately and consistently forms angles and complex shapes
Drawing
Transforms metal into deep shapes where depth exceeds diameter.
The Advantages of Progressive Die Stamping
Cost Effective
Streamlined Manufacturing Process
High Quality, Uniform Parts
Long Lasting Dies
Parts Produced with Progressive Die Stamping
Progressive die stamping suits parts that need several operations and are ordered in volume. Reliable Metal Stamping runs progressive tooling for electrical conduit hangers and straps, brackets, clips, clamps, washers and flat formed components. Completing every operation in a single die holds part to part consistency across long production runs.
